If you had to choose anything to change for the next gen of consoles, what would it be?
These may include less micro transactions, more single player focused games, less/more digital distribution, etc.

I fully agree.

So do I. They should make multiplayer games for multiplayer fans and single player games for single player fans and not mix the two together diluting both in the process.

i like where the trends are headed. The wii's only faults are its inferior horsepower and imprecise motion controls. If those two things were fixed that would be a great console. Basically the perfect console is a combination of all three of this gen, and I bet that's what next gen will look like.

Well the only reason I don't want motion controls is because I don't have enough room in my dorm to be jumping around, plus that would piss off everyone else in my residence.

You don't need to jump around, unless you mean Natal, that requires a lot of space, stuff like the Wii doesn't. I'm not a fan either, but it works well in some games.

Yeah, I meant Natal like motion control. No doubt Nintedo is going to improve on the motion control next-gen, but I hope it isn't like Natal. I worded my post wrong. I woundn't mind motion controls like the Wii, or maybe even the PS wand thing, but no Natal.

I agree that motion controls usually don't work well, but the IR sensor functionality is great. The kind of precision you can get on games like Trauma Center or even Wii Play's Duck Hunt minigame are only possible with the Wiimote or computer mouse and keyboard.

Motion Plus will fix the problems associated with the "motion" part of the controls, as shown by Wii Sport Resort and Tiger Woods 10.

I would like a light weight controller (360 style but smaller with out motion useleness), Project Offset and better graphics, fully destructible environments and by that i mean you could blow anything you see on screen and finaly co-op in evry FPS/3rdPS games would be my nextgen.

Price point/power.

Basically what I've seen from this gen is the cheapest gaming option (the DS) has the best library of exclusive games. Most AAAe on Gamespot (in terms of consoles, not PC). The lackluster power means that developers aren't trying to make games based around graphics, but creativity. Just one look at the DS library and you see a wide array of colorful games, innovative games, and genres that are unplayable on the other consoles.

The industry is going to crash without systems like the DS/Wii bringing new gamers into the market. When a system is not all about power it's a lot better for the industry, and for the gamers in general.

i want same ps3/xbox360 controllers, their great. better graphics card so games can output 1080p for real this time. not the 600p crap mordern warfare 2 is doing, even though it still looks good. free online on the 360, ps3 is fine there. no motion controllers.

add option for keyboard and mouse to be used in the console games. like you just plug it in the usb, and the game auto detects it and changes the key bindings for keyboard and mouse. that would be awesome if you could do that, then MMORPGS and games with many keys can be played on a console. like imagine if blizzard remade the WoW graphics just so it can run on the ps3/360. man that game would look awesome, well heres me dreaming

also, allowing a keyboard/mouse combo to be connected to a console would remove the need for pc gamers to keep upgrading their system to meet the demands of new games. since all games would be made optimized for each console, it would run smooth and look great for the hardware the console has and you wouldnt have to ever upgrade it.

that would be great for rts games and mmo games that want to get into the console world

Gaming becomes more mainstream and much cheaper than what it is now. Incorporate 3D graphics, doesn't matter if it requires me to wear a pair of funny glasses. Improve on the motion control, still want to have something to hold in my hands, no Natal. Game production becomes more accessible for the developers, more games and more variety, a balance selection of games for every genres. No more piracy and that will be perfect. I really think everything I mentioned is possible, except some preference like 3D and motion control.

All consoles to be released with a starting price of 300 dollars or less with no hardware malfunction issues, massive launch line ups, no waggle controllers, free online multiplayer for all systems, no more Dowloadable content unless its 5$ or cheaper and adds significant content to the game its released for, SE goes bankrupt and Testsuya Nomura and his team get their own Sony inhouse studio.

lol, some of yall are in for some serious disappointment.

personally, im pretty happy with the way things are going. if i could really change something, i think id like to see consoles capable of playing portable games are higher settings. the psp/ps3 interaction with the remote play is very cool; something on the flipside of that, i would love to see. also a super-hd version of knights in the nightmare, please. i dont care how, just make it happen.

more ram and less graphical and better physical engines, no game has to use waggle this DLC thing has to stop as much as we console gamers pay for our gaming experience we might as well buy a pc cause at the end of the gen its cheaper imo, cheaper ways to make games but not too cheap so we can weed out the bad games

more single player and split screen games, most game should not have online, dlc should be free. Basicly this gen the whole point of having a console over a pc has gone. most games are now build around one person per system, terrible single player support, hardly any split screen/one system mp. next gen it needs to go back to how it was before xbox live came and turned consoles into the closed box pc.

Okay, let me just rant here for a bit:

Stop using dumbass point systems like MS' that are designed to make you pay more money than you need to.

Achievements for every console and every game. Also give actual rewards for some achievements, like MS is doing with avatar clothes/props.

Stop cramming in multiplayer, and make more lengthy, story-driven (not just plot-driven) single-player focused games (this means shooters as well).

More creativity and variety. Remember that you don't have to be completely off-the-wall to be unique.

No consoles with a starting price of over $400.

Rewrite the book on MMOs. I want someone to come up with an MMO that's actually fun to play, instead of just reskinning Everquest for the trillionth time.
